If it Ain't a Paint it Ain't! Posts: 8519 Location: Mansfield, Tx	3canstorun - 2014-07-10 1:07 PM RunningOnPaints - 2014-07-10 1:24 PM My horse laid down in an ant pile I guess and has bites on her butt and belly... I'm put med. on them but I'm afraid it's going to scar her? or will it go away with time? They go away with time. Otherwise, my hands and legs would be more scarred then they are from hitting barrels! LOL, thanks....

It will keep them off for over a week. About the only product that works well around the house is an Ortho product that comes in a brown plastic bottle. It stinks to high heaven but seems to work best. I use it in the pasture but don't like to use it in the stalls. Right now the fireants seem to be eating my Fly Predators. I haven't figured out exactly what to put out that won't kill the Fly Predators This is my problem...the stupid things keep killing off my fly eliminators too. Totally going to try the diesel fuel tomorrow as it's yard work day anyhow...

If it is a dry lot and you don't care about future grass, use it. We have in some places.

Thanks, wouldn't have thought of that - I'll skip the fuel experiment in the actual yard then since I finally got it decent looking. I don't have anything dry at the moment with this summer rain, but I do have mud and weeds everywhere else on the property so I'll have to try it there as there is no grass anyhow :-)
